Chapter 147

Rongguo Mansion has always been a place that is permeable on all sides, and that day Xue Pan went to Rongxi Hall to make a big fuss, and it didn't take a few days to coerce Jia Zheng and his wife to marry Xue Baochai for Baoyu, and the well-informed people in Beijing knew about it.

Rongguo Mansion once again became the laughing stock of the eunuchs and nobles in Chang'an City after tea and dinner. Of course, some people ridiculed the girl of the Xue family for not being able to get married, so she relied on the Jia family.

However, the matter of "Golden Jade Good Relationship" has already made a lot of noise, not to mention that Xue Pan is a well-known overlord temperament, so even if the reputation of the Xue family is completely bad because of this, no one cares. On the contrary, he took advantage of this incident to praise and disparage the people in the second room of Rongfu.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Su Rili sells his reputation and pretends to be high, and he originally thought he was a person with a lot of light and moon. Looking at it now, he is also a scoundrel who cheats his relatives out of money under the guise of marrying. This is also the tutor of the Gongmen Hou Mansion? It is the home of a small family of ordinary people, and even a little dignified person can't do such a thing. ”

Najia has mediocre political intelligence, but his temperament is pedantic and pure, and he likes to rely on the power of his ancestral in-laws to make party members and promote protΓ©gΓ©s. Every time for those flattering people, they seek good and short children, so that the truly talented people have no way to serve, so they have to succumb to the bitter cold land and slowly suffer. Such an arrogant act has already attracted the attention of colleagues. As if he was unconscious, he was loyal and patriotic, full of moral articles. It's boring.

Now that there is a matter of the dumb overlord making trouble in the Rongguo Mansion, all the yin and dirt in the second room are sprinkled in front of people, and it is also called Na Jia Zheng to hide his face and leave without face, and everyone is naturally happy to watch the fire from the other side and fall into the well.

Not to mention these outsiders, even the historians who intended to marry Shi Xiangyun to Rongguo Mansion heard about these dirty private affairs, and they had to weigh it twice. As long as this family business is abolished, find another lover.

After all, it is a good thing to be close to each other, and it can also solve Shi Xiangyun's trouble in one fell swoop. However, knowing that the second room of Rongguo Mansion was a fire pit, he wanted to send his niece to the fire pit, so it would not be possible.

In order not to be praised and discredited, the Baolinghou couple had to visit again and end the matter in front of Jia's mother.

Mother Jia didn't expect that this matter would come to this point, obviously Jia Zheng and his wife had agreed, but it was a complication to the Xue family.

The good old daughter of the pavilion, the noble daughter of the Houmen can't marry, but she can't get out of the house of a businessman. Jia's mother, who wanted to plan for Baoyu, was also depressed. At the moment, I wanted to persuade the Shi family and his wife to think about it again, and what did they say that the two children were childhood sweethearts, and the two had no guesses, they both knew the roots, not to mention the temperament, even the father-in-law and mother-in-law were also the elders of their own families, if they could kiss each other, wouldn't it be much stronger than the other match outside?

Mrs. Wang sat beside her and followed suit.

When Mrs. Baolinghou heard this, she could only smile and say, "I understand what the old lady means." I also wanted to kiss and kiss. Just one sentence...... Although it is not appropriate to say it, the old lady is an elder, and there is nothing bad to say about us as juniors in front of you. ”

When Mrs. Baoling Hou said this, she smiled again and said meaningfully: "If Xiangyun is my daughter, I will talk about this family business." With an old lady taking care of us, what do we have to worry about? But now...... It's really hard to say. ”

Of course, Jia Mu understood the meaning of Mrs. Baolinghou's words. After being silent for a long time, I had to respond.

The two families ended their business. Mrs. Baolinghou also greeted Jia's mother once, then shirked the fact that there were still affairs to be taken care of at home, and resigned.

After Mrs. Baolinghou went, Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang and didn't say much.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang herself described it as a sneer, and this son knew that her calculations were not as good as her mother-in-law, but the matter had come to this point, and she was helpless.

The news of Shi Jialai's resignation soon reached the ears of others in the mansion. Although Mrs. Xing doesn't like the two-room couple, she has always loved Baoyu, and when she heard about it, she also sighed. I only feel that although Baoyu is good, the marriage is not good. The daughter of Yipinge's hometown and the noble lady of the meritorious Hou Mansion is not better than the daughter of the Shang Jia family, but her brother's daughter-in-law is blinded, so she has a crush on which treasure girl.

She didn't think there was anything good about that treasure girl, a young girl, who was dressed up all day and made up, and she didn't have the innocent and lively appearance of a young girl at all.

It's really like her aunt, and she's very scheming.

Of course, the reason why Mrs. Xing was prejudiced against Xue Baochai was that it was estimated that Sister Feng had a miscarriage that day, and Mrs. Wang only ordered Li Kun, Tanchun, and Baochai to take care of family affairs together, but they crossed the matter of welcoming the spring.

However, Yingchun himself is not theoretical. Of course, her stepmother, who doesn't care about everything, has nothing to say.

Since the Shi family withdrew from the marriage, and Xue Pan threatened with such words, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were a little helpless for a while, and they didn't want to obey Xue Pan's wishes, so the matter froze. Anyway, Baoyu is still young, so it won't be bad if it drags on for another two or three years. Their Jia family can afford to drag it.

The Jia family can afford to drag it, but the Xue family can't afford it. Xue Pan was anxious, and saw that Jia Zheng and his wife didn't leave their hands, so in desperation, he had to find his fox friend and ask for advice. Most of the people who can make friends with Xue Pan are scoundrels who mix wine and money, where can they have any good ideas. It's just a trick to cheat wine and meat under the guise of giving Xue Pan an idea. In the end, the money was not spent, and nothing was done.

Xue Pan was so anxious that he finally had to grab Xue Zhen and ask. At that time, Xue Zhen was busy planning big things, although he had the heart to help, he couldn't do anything in the face of a behemoth like Rongguo Mansion. gave Xue Pan an idea and asked him to go to his uncle Wang Teng for help. He also sued Xue Pan to buy some generous gifts to bribe Wang Ziteng's wife and children.

Xue Pan got Xue Zhen's advice, such as Feng Guizhen. hurriedly went home to prepare for a heavy gift and came to visit.

Speaking of which, what Xue Pan is most afraid of in his life is his uncle. It's always like a mouse seeing a cat, and you can go as far as you can. For the sake of his sister's lifelong event, he can't care about anything.

When he arrived at the Wang family for a while, Wang Ziteng was punished for the demotion of this unreliable nephew, and now he has not been able to regain the weight of the saint, and he will inevitably have some bitterness towards Xue Pan in his heart.

However, although Wang Ziteng has all kinds of disadvantages as an official, he has always been protective of his short-term affection, and he has always been tolerant of his family. At this moment, seeing that Xue Pan was so anxious about his sister's lifelong event, he also felt relieved. In addition, Xue Pan persuaded Mrs. Wang Ziteng and his cousin Wang Ren to help him with a lot of money. Wang Ziteng responded to the matter of proposing marriage to the Rong Mansion on behalf of the Xue family.

After receiving Wang Ziteng's promise, the mother and son of the Xue family made up their minds. Go home with peace of mind and wait for news.

A few days later, Xue Zhen, who heard that the second room, somehow got through the relationship between the palace and the palace, and he actually got back to the errand of the imperial businessman. As soon as this matter came out, the Xue family was surprised and delighted. I really didn't expect Xue Zhen, who has always been gentle and shy, and doesn't like to talk highly, to be able to do such a big thing.

At that moment, the mother and son of the Xue family set up a banquet for Xue Zhen to celebrate. At the same time, he is also grateful to Xue Zhen for giving Xue Pan an idea, and finally being able to solve Baochai's lifelong event.

After three rounds of drinking, Aunt Xue couldn't help but ask Xue Zhen how she did this. Xue Zhen smiled and spoke eloquently.

But it turned out that the household department had deprived Xue Pan of the errand of the Xue family's imperial merchants on the grounds of Xue Pan's misconduct, and the prince Teng Jia Zheng was demoted and fined for this matter. After this matter reached Jinling, the Xue family was shocked. When several other big businessmen in Jinling City heard about this, they also took the opportunity to fall into the ground. The Xue family's business suddenly plummeted, and it was no longer as prominent as it used to be.

Xue Zhen is a person with ideas, and since his father's death, he has been taking care of the business of the second room, and he understands the truth very well. I also know that those big businessmen have the support of the imperial court officials behind them, and since they want to fall into the well and take advantage of the fire to rob, they will definitely not give the Xue family a chance to breathe.

Xue Zhen saw that it was impossible to disobey, so he hit the idea in Beijing. Trying to get through the door of the palace and get back to the imperial merchant again. And I want to transfer the business of the second room to Beijing. So he took his sister Xue Baoqin to Beijing first. Look around for a way. In the end, he found the body of an old palace eunuch who served the emperor.

Since the abdication of Emperor Taishang, because the life has become more and more nourishing, people have become more and more nostalgic. The ancestor of the Xue family, Ziwei Sheren, is also a meritorious servant who has made meritorious contributions to the dragon. How could the descendants of later generations lose their family business. The best thing is that there are many descendants of these meritorious eunuchs who are unfilial and ruined their family business, but the emperor himself is a descendant, and his children and grandchildren are full of them, and they are all very filial-at least on the surface.

Therefore, the emperor remembered the old feelings more and more. Those who really violated the laws of the court and could not be forgiven, such as the Xue family, and other inconsequential ones, even if someone asked for it, the emperor was happy to raise his noble hand to show benevolence.

I briefly mentioned this matter when greeting him today, and he is also a very friendly person today. Thinking that the emperor is now more and more ignorant of the government and politics, and is dedicated to enjoying honor, he only mentions such an untouchable mention occasionally, how can he not allow it today.

So the brand of the imperial merchant went around and fell on the head of the Xue family. It's just a transfer from the big room to the second room. But for the entire Xue family, it is extremely decent.

Xue Pan's mother and son listened to Xue Zhen's words, and they had to take the case. Xue Pan himself is a person who doesn't like to take care of family affairs, and he has always known that his brother is loyal and a very reliable person. With the help of wine, he wanted to entrust his own business to Xue Zhen to cook.

The mother and daughter of the Xue family might as well Xue Pan actually proposed such a proposal, and they couldn't help but hesitate. Xue Pan didn't care about this, held Xue Zhen's hand and smiled: "You know my brother." I'm most impatient with these things. I don't know all the tricks that those old fellows and compradors used me to do in my young and ignorant accounts. Just too lazy to reason with them. But as the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. Since you are so successful, brother, I will entrust you with this family business to help with the cooking. It's better than cheaper outsiders. ”

When Xue Zhen heard this, he hurriedly shirked it. Xue Pan didn't care about Xue Zhen's attitude, and handed over his own business and business very arrogantly, because he said with a smile: "I'll call the account office to you another day to pay the account." Brother, you are an understanding person, and in the future, the family business of our two families will depend on you. What are you embarrassed about, just tell me. Even if my brother and I can't make it, don't we still have our uncle? The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it will not make you suffer after all. ”

Xue Zhen couldn't, so he had to respond.

Within a few days, Mrs. Wang Ziteng really lived up to the hopes of the Xue family, and personally visited Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang to propose marriage for Baochai.

At this point, Jia's mother was already disheartened, so she had to hand over Baoyu's marriage to Mrs. Wang, the mother. Mrs. Wang has always been the only one who looks forward to the Wang family, and at this moment, when she saw her sister-in-law come to propose marriage in person, although she was a little unwilling, she had to respond.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng knew that Mrs. Wang was suspicious of Xue Pan's threat - not to mention Mrs. Wang's aunt, even her aunt felt a headache when she saw Xue Pan's confusion. However, a headache is a headache, not only receiving the benefits of others, but also Mrs. Wang Ziteng also wants to do things decently. smiled and persuaded Mrs. Wang: "Don't be so sad." Although Miss Lin and Miss Shi are good, they have no fate with our Baoyu after all. Besides, the girl in our family is no worse than the young lady of the Gongmen Hou Mansion. is not only at any time, but also can persuade Baoyu to move forward, and she is your niece and daughter. If she marries Baoyu, she must be of the same heart as your mother-in-law. It's stronger than the girl from the four outer roads. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was silent for a long time, and then she slowly said, "This is naturally good." ”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng lived up to the trust and naturally left satisfied.

Within a few days, Mrs. Wang invited a matchmaker to go to Xue's house to propose marriage. After that, Mrs. Wang handled all the matters herself.

On the Xue family's side, because Xue Pan didn't understand anything, Aunt Xue entrusted Xue Zhen with the matter of making a dowry for Baochai. Xue Zhen is also diligent and diligent, so there is no need to elaborate.

The Jia family and the Xue family had just made an appointment, so they came to the Bowling Marquis Mansion and also engaged Xiangyun, and the girl of the Wei family was still Wei Ruolan. This person is also a well-known prince and grandson in Beijing, and he is both talented and beautiful. It's a character with all four corners. Shi Xiangyun didn't say anything, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

As soon as the marriage of the Shi family and the Wei family was decided, I heard that Lin Ruhai, a scholar from Longtuge University, also intended to choose a son-in-law for his beloved daughter. Everyone in the world knows that the Lin family is the fifth prince, and the heirs are Lingding, and in Lin Ruhai's generation, there is only one daughter like Lin Daiyu, who loves like a treasure. Moreover, Lin Daiyu is rare and handsome, with a peerless appearance, and her appearance and background are outstanding, and now she has heard the news of the Lin family, and all the nobles in Chang'an City who have sons of appropriate age are interested in marrying. It is the princes and nobles, and the princes and grandchildren are also tempted.

It's just that Lin Ruhai has always loved her daughter, and she is tired of the open and secret battles between the princes, so she doesn't want to get involved in right and wrong, nor does she want her daughter to suffer from this. I only want to find a lover with all four corners, who can be in harmony with Daiyu Qinse and be stable for a lifetime.

Now let's not talk about other family affairs, just say that it has entered June in a blink of an eye, and the summer is scorching. Liu Xianglian, who went to the West Sea to escort the county lord and his relatives, returned successfully, and by the way, brought back the king of Nan'an who was released by Java according to his words.
